Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2000 08:43:01 -0400 From: colugx@stones.wcbe.org To: lwn@lwn.net Subject: Announcement - COLUG meeting notice Followup-to: colugx@bopper.wcbe.org MEETING NOTICE ============== Central Ohio Linux Users Group Saturday, Apr 29th., 1300 to 1500 local Meeting Presentation ==================== The main presentation: There have been snippets of development this month: The weather magnet project is producing preliminary results. Particularly impressive is that the author actually wrote an expanded problem definition _before_ coding. And better than that, it uses O-O perl in this _first_ coding project by this newbie coder. Impressive. Who says that you _have_ to develop bad habits? The old hosts usage project has a tentative name, and will be discussed (It's a secret until the domain registrations are complete -- come to the meeting to hear more). The [COLUG-LUNCH] mailer is up and running, and informal intra-month get-togethers have become quite popular. The data transfer rate at these 1 hour sessions can only be called 'blistering'. As always (both with the informal nature of the group's `management' and the vaguries of the presenters' schedules), the agenda and content are subject to change. Additionally, the _formal_ meeting ends at the stated time. We've noticed that folks continue to stand around in the parking lot for _hours_. We'll probably adjourn to a local watering hole, to slake thirst and sit down. MEETING SITE: ============= This month's meeting will be held at: TEAM America (http://www.teamamerica.com) 110 East Wilson Bridge Road Worthington, OH 43085 (614) 848-3995 The building is at US23 North and 270 off of East Wilson Bridge Road just around the first curve. Parking is FREE ! ... The group has met on the LAST Wednesday or LAST Saturday of a month, alternating by month to allow more folks to mesh their schedules with COLUG's. Sites and dates also depend on facility availabity, with common-sense relocation in the holiday season. The webpage always has a link to a map to the upcoming meeting site. See: http://stones.wcbe.org/~COLUG/meetings.php3 Meeting Schedule ================ The NEXT meeting is scheduled on Wednesday, May 31, 2000 from 19:00 to 21:00 local -- Location is up in the air -- we've pretty well outgrown the kindly donated TeamAmerica site, although we continue to 'shoe-horn' in until a suitable replacement is found.
